h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Thanks for editing my article -- I made some comments there. Since this is my very first article, I don't know the process completely. So maybe making notes in this phase is silly -- in this case just ignore them. And sorry that I bothered you with such a long article and so complex tables.

You picked a biggie for your first article, Cefpret, but I do like your style...!

The tables weren't actually too bad, although I must admit I couldn't study them as carefully as I might. Some of the expressions in the tables were a bit odd, language-wise, but some of the expressions in the rest of the article also struck me a bit like that, so in all I wasn't unfavourably impressed with either your style - which is concise, factually oriented and amusing - or your intention.

I'll head over and check out your comments as soon as I get a chance - if I don't do so before the article is made ready to 'publish', the editorial team (the paid one, that is) will probably do so before it goes live, so I think you've done everything possible right.

I don't want to seem impatient, but as far as I understood the editorial process, my article should at least have switched to 'pending'. Is it normal that it takes so long?

It's not entirely normal, no, but this article has a few things to sort out - such as the display of a few characters, etc. This may take some time to make the article read OK.

Another possible reason for taking a while is that the article may be being 'kept' to be a headliner. It's big enough and comprehensive enough to cause this kind of delay...!

Try not to become too anxious, but if you're still wondering, check with Mark Moxon et al.

Regards,

H.

Well, well. Since h2g2 seems to have forgotten my article, could you be so kind and use the time to correct those last mistakes in it? Thank you very much and Merry Christmas!
